Dec. 16. There were no new releases in the top 10. Electronic Arts had the most games in the top 10, with three: The 360 version of Need For Speed: ProStreet at No. 5 again in its fifth week, the PS2 version at No. 7 (down one) and the PS2 version of Madden NFL 08 at No. 10, down one in its 18th week. Microsoft had two of its own 360 games in the top 10: Mass Effect at No. 3 (down one in its fourth week) and Halo 3 at No. 6 (up two in its 12th week)… Verizon Wireless teamed with mobile game company Hands-On Mobile and Activision to exclusively offer a mobile version of Activision’s hit console game Guitar Hero III for mobile users. Guitar Hero III Mobile offers 15 tracks from the console series, including “Suck My Kiss” by Red Hot Chili Peppers and “Rock You Like A Hurricane” which the companies said was “made famous by” The Scorpions -- but it’s performed by a knock-off band. Like the PS3 and Xbox 360 version of the game, song packs will become available on a regular basis -- in the case of Verizon Wireless, “each month,” the companies said. The game will cost $4.49 for monthly access or $11.99 for unlimited use purchase. It is available on a variety of Get It Now-capable phones, including Motorola’s RIZR Z6tv, LG’s Chocolate and Samsung’s Gleam, the companies said.
